Photobook
Photobook
In total I had three different idea's for the photbook.
Iphoto
My initial idea was linked to my other research concerning memory. I wanted to create a photo-book related to the generative iPhoto Book design. I started collecting stock images shown as in the example ‘images’ from the iPhoto Photo-books. I also started altering my own image of when I was young, placing them in different situations. I had the idea of matching all the images the iPhoto represented with my own images and exploring the meaning of a photo as a memory.
After realising my idea was unclear, and researching and developing it would take ages more, I thought of making a more ‘simple’ photo-book.
In Perspective
During the camera workshop I made a camera that made a picture of two different sides of the same time. These images turned out pretty poetic. Looking upon these images the aesthetics reminded me of the pictures I took a couple of year ago with my old Exacta camera. I thought about bringing them together in a book. During my research for the phonebooks I stumbled upon some publishings of white pictures printed on black paper. I really liked this idea because it fitted together with the grainy, unclear quality and transience of the photographs.
I designed a book where the photo’s from the self-made camera were printed on see-through paper. This gave the two different sides as a double exposure another layer, now you can slo see through the images and see the images behind it. The exacta images I wanted to print on black paper. I made a selection of photographs that also showed two sides of the situation. On the one hand you had the subject, one of my ex-boyfriends or ex-flirt, and the view around it (a window, a view, a location, etc.).
After hours and hours of trying to print on black paper together with the printer guy (on all different printers). We found out it wasn’t really possible to do. So I made a dummy of the exacta images on white paper.

Three Stages
After making the dummy of the previous photo-book I realised I spend a lot of time in the last weeks organising the iPhoto program on my computer. I will never see myself as a photographer but I stumbled upon a lot of images I made over the past years that never really got a spot. Seeing other people’s photo-books and realising it would be nice to give these pictures some purpose I started designing my third photo-book. Only during the assembling and organising of these photo’s I realised a certain thematic and style in the photographs I made. I guess in all the work I make humour plays a big role.
From this (most classic) photo book I also made a dummy version and prints. It’s called three stages because I initially saw a repetition in form. Subject, object and environment related pictures. In the end the last two were merged together.
